About TempLinc
TempLinc is a 7 day programmable INSTEON-compatible thermostat. It comes in two variants, with and
without a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor model also includes 2 stage heating and cooling, while
the non-humidity sensor device is a single stage device.
Expand the system by creating extra temperature zones in your home. Simply add wireless TempLinc
zone thermostats to your system.
There is one accessory product for the TempLinc, a waterproof sensor that plugs into the TempLinc using
bare leads on a 6’ cord.

Thermostat Button Overview
1 Up/Down adjust the temperature setpoint based on the mode you are currently in
2 Mode allows the user to select the current operational mode of the HVAC system. It cycles between
Off, Auto, Cool and Heat
3 Energy button is designed to be a very quick to use option that saves energy (and money). When
you press it, it will back off the set point by a specified value. The default value if 5 degrees from the
current setting. To change the default offset value away from 5 degrees, you must use HouseLinc.
4 Hold over-rides a pre-programmed mode
5 Fan cycles between Auto and Always On
6 Master makes the device the master temperature controller
7 Time / Sensor button allows you to set the date, time and select the sensors/humidity to display. It
cycles between day, time, format, and each sensor option.
8 Program button allows you to setup the various pre-programmed modes (Wake, Leave, Return, and
Sleep).
9 Set button is for INSTEON linking and unlinking as well as accepting the current programming step
and going to the next one in sequence. For INSTEON functions, it works like Set does for other
INSTEON devices.

Installation
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
Read and understand these instructions before installing and retain them for future reference.
IMPORTANT!
If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with, HVAC circuitry, you should have a qualified HVAC professional install
TempLinc for you.
Tools Needed
- Flat blade screwdriver
- Wire cutter / stripper
Preparation
Proper installation of the thermostat will be accomplished by following these step by step instructions. If
you are unsure about any of these steps, call a qualified technician for assistance.
1) Make sure your Heater/Air Conditioner is working properly before beginning installation of the
thermostat
2) Carefully unpack the thermostat. Save the screws, bracket and instructions
3) Turn off power to the Heating/Air Conditioning system at the main fuse panel. Most residential system
have a separate breaker for disconnecting power to the furnace
4) Remove the cover of the old thermostat. If it does not come off easily check to see if it is mounted
with screws.
5) Loosen the screws holding the thermostat base or subbase to the wall, and lift away
6) Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat. Tape the ends of the wires as you disconnect them,
and mark them with the letter of the terminal for easy reconnection to TempLinc.
7) Keep the old thermostat for reference purposes, until you new thermostat is functioning properly
Wire Connections
If the terminal designations on your old thermostat do not match those on TempLinc, refer to the chart
below or the wiring diagram that follows.

Test Operation
1) Turn the power on to the Heating/Air Conditioning system
2) Press the MODE button repeatedly until the HEAT icon appears in the display. Press the UP or
DOWN buttons until the set temperature is 10 degrees above room temperature. The furnace should
turn on.
3) Press the MODE button repeatedly until the COOL icon appears on the display. Press the UP or
DOWN buttons until the set temperature is 10 degrees below room temperature. The air conditioner
should turn on.
NOTE: Most equipment has a time delay of 5 minutes between cool cycles.
4) Press the UP button until the setpoint is equal to the room temperature. Press the FAN button to Fan
On. The fan should turn on and run continuously.

Linking as a Controller
TempLinc can be setup to control other INSTEON devices or trigger software events when there is a
change. The following TempLinc changes can be setup as a controller:
Group 1 - Cooling mode change (scene control)

Page 15 of 22 Rev: 9/30/2011 1:26 PM
Group 2 - Heating mode change (scene control)
Group 3 - Fan mode change (scene control)*
Group FE - broadcast on any change (info only)*
*Can only be configured via software.
NOTE: The Wireless TempLinc can also be linked as a controller to Group 1 and 2 but it will operate if
there’s a TempLinc or not. When it is linked as a controller of a TempLinc, the setpoints between
Wireless TempLinc and TempLinc will always be matched. When it is not linked to a TempLinc, the set
points are local only. Wireless TempLinc will send group commands based on local temp and the
setpoint shown on the display, regardless of whether it’s connected to a TempLinc or not.
